I Need A New Garlic Press From QVC!!

Qvcjunkie — Wed, 05 Aug 2015 05:14:49 GMT

QVC needs to bring us a garlic press that is sturdy, well-made, and affordable. I've gone through several cheap garlic presses made of metal, and the handles bend and don't press the garlic cloves through the tiny holes. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Not sure why you're limited to QVC for a garlic press, but Amazon has several SS presses at reasonable prices, if you choose to go elsewhere.

I've had one from Pampered Chef for years. I'd think any kitchen store would have a good one if Amazon didn't.

I can vouch for the Propressor SS Garlic Press from Amazon for $17.87. Works well and easy to clean.

Did you see her screen name?

I don't feel the need to only shop at QVC, either, but hey, no reason QVC shouldn't have a garlic press.

The very best garlic press on the market is from the Pampered Chef. I have tried tons and this one is worth every penny. Easy to use and never fails.

Why are you only looking at QVC?

I purchased sturdy one from the OXO brand at BB&B. It works great and it can go in the dishwasher.

I've gone through too many garlic presses and hated cleaning them. So now I use a microplane in the extra fine grate and it works much better for me and easier to clean.

This is similar to the set I bought and use the fine one for garlic.

Have you ever used a microplane to mince your garlic? I no longer use a press.

Of course, you should buy what you need; however, if you have a good knife (and/or a microplane) a garlic press is superfluous. IMHO

That's a great suggestion! I just recently bought a set of two graters from QVC, have them now, and will try it out asap! Thank you!

I will have to check this out, since I have a coupon and a store nearby. Thank you for your suggestion!

No I have not, but I will try your suggestion. Thank you!

I love the OXO garlic press that I bought 4-5 years ago for around $16-17.

The press is nicely weighted/balanced so it has good hand feel. The levering system works well so that it doesn't take much effort to press each piece of garlic.

My very favorite part about my OXO press is the ease of cleanup. While the garlic container is in one handle. on the other handle there are raised mini rectangle pieces that fit inside all the tiny holes through which the garlic is pressed.

After I've finished pressing the garlic, I just turn the handles in the opposite direction to press out any remaining bits of garlic that have been trapped in the tiny holes. I've used other presses which had this function, but they always left little bits of garlic stuck in the holes. So I would wind up using fork prongs to get the last bits of garlic out.

The OXO press removes any last garlic bits and which makes for a really easy cleanup.

I saw this "garlic rocker/mincer" by Joseph Joseph in a catalog that I occasionally receive (have no idea how I get on these mailing lists!).......looks pretty good and simple........think I might have seen the same thing at Bed, Bath & Beyond, but not sure.

It gets nice reviews from users.

The Kuhn Rikon epicurian stanless steel garlic press is great. It's all steel, works wonderfully and is easy to clean.
